Hi, thanks for the prompt reply! How do I "connect" a page from SmartTree? I have a Content Class called Homepage (used for homepage only) and I wish to to link to a page called Benefits under a content class called "Non-Homepage". I created an Anchor placeholder in the template for Homepage and went
Administer Content Classes > Content Classes > Homepage > Structural Elements > benefits_link (anchor) and in the Action Menu I do not see anything that represents connect page. There are options in there like "Connect to Authorization Package in Clipboard" but they do not work, even if I have the Benefits page in the clipboard. A temporary fix I have was to make a link to Benefits with the text editor in the CMS and then copy the href attribute, but I'd really like to know how to do it with a placeholder so it's easier to manage for my superiors. Thanks!
